Is this turn based?

RTwP, actually time-based rather than the IE/NWN/... pseudo realtime.

 

[Norfleet]

because each battle is meant to be part of a larger adventure, and you have to carefully manage your resources

"Carefully manage", as any veteran gamer knows, is a euphemism for "never use". Just ask anyone with their hoard of unused potions. If, for any battle, you are meant to be able to beat it without using that special resource, because there's no way to guarantee that player will have it, then we can prove by induction that EVERY battle is meant to be beaten without it. Therefore, potions are for scrubs. Git gud, scrub.

This game is so empty...why bother having a tooltip button if there are so few objects/NPCs to interact with ?

There's no excuse for this.

When I click on one of the numerous beggars, nothing.

To compare, yesterday playing Wartales, I clicked on a beggar. He asked for money. I tried to give him 10 bucks.
He stole 20 from me and skipped town.
I caught up with him later by accident outside town, he begged for my forgiveness.
I killed him and got my money back.

I thought I'd be happy seeing a game not be in EA for eternity (I'm looking at you Dungeon Kingdom: Sign of the Moon) but I'm hoping this isn't getting rushed out the door. They have my money anyways so we'll see how it goes.

You'd think he'd have blown it on hookers and booze by that point.

No, and that's a good thing

I bought this on sale but decided not to play until the proper release. I say it will be good, it will be incline, we will enjoy it.

Exactly. Should be worth the $17 USD or whatever it was I paid for it on sale. Odin knows I've blown way more money on crap in the past

Wartales looks like a better version of Battle Brothers, is it any good? I see the reviews are very positive

Bugs are always a big problem for new games to gain customers, wish you deal good with it~

There's a few codexian first impressions on the Wartales thread. It is like Battle Brothers with a few new features, but combat is IMO inferior and there's a lot of work that needs to be done.

 

[Gyor]

Black Geyser sounds like name of an interracial porn movie or black male pornstar.

I don't think people consider it better, but it is certainly more adapted for people that have legs.
